Customer Review: One great product.
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading several reviews, the review given by *NLee the Engineer* (Nashua, NH) said it best. I too have the La Cross BC-900 and indeed it does work fine. However it was *NLee the Engineer's* (Nashua, NH) review that made me purchase the Maha Powerex MH-C9000. I have to agree with his review, however in my particular case, I have not experienced many of his reviews down sides. That probably is because I haven,t used the particular function reported upon by *NLee the Engineer.* (Nashua NH)
I have to say please read *NLee the Engineer's* (Nashua, NH) review, because he has said it best. I could not give a better review than he has, because *NLee the Engineer,s review is in my opinion, the most comprehensive and informative. Now that I have had a chance to use the Maha Powerex MH-C9000 myself to charge, refresh and break-in new batteries along with old ones; The Maha Powerex MH-C9000 gets my thumbs up with all 5 stars. This charger will do everything one needs it to do, and then some.
This is a great charger and I am very happy with it, and, I am glad that I have purchased it. Yep, this is the one to get. Hey, what are you waiting for, an engraved invitation; BUY THIS CHARGER!!!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
This charger is GREAT! I'm not sure why 'the Engineer' (earlier reviewer) dislikes it so. His review almost caused me not to buy this charger, but I went ahead and took a chance and bought it. Now, the Maha MH-C9000 is my main charger, while my BC-900 sits next to it on the bench, looking a little left out waiting for it's turn. The MH-C9000 works practically full-time keeping all my batteries in shape. And it is very easy to use. The Engineer's "dozens of keystrokes" are not nearly as painful as he makes it sound. It's more like "cl-cl-click" rather than "click--click--clickk-clickkk...". In other words, the buttons are very easy to use. They respond very nicely, they're a good size, and it usually only takes about 5 keystrokes to get each cell going. And I haven't heard the squeal sound that some people have complained about. I think maybe that only happens when you charge at rates high enough to boil batteries.
The MH-C9000 is a tad large to be packing around in a camera case, but I don't think it's meant to be so much of a 'portable' charger. What it is meant to be, and does very well, is a very functional and efficient home charger.
The bottom line is, this charger is the best I've seen.
So there. :)
Customer Review: Beautiful easy to use

I am new to NIMH batteries. Prior to this charger, I was using a Duracell 15 min charger, and was often wondering why the heck my battery performed so badly. It's shocking that other larger companies don't offer such a product. This is priced the same as my crappy 15 minute charger, but it is worlds beyond in terms of technology. Other reviews have explained the basics, I want to comment on some of the gripes about this product.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
1. EASE OF USE
-yes while it would be nice to be able to group the charging instruction since almost always people charge a group together, that being said, I could easily teach any child how to use this product. It is that easy.
-while you may have to make extra clicks depending on which mode you are using, you can still set a group of 4 batteries in under 60 seconds flat. I can do it in about 30 seconds, and that was even the first time I ran the product.
2. LCD TOO BRIGHT
-who the heck charges batteries in their bedroom anyway?? It is a huge bright easy to read LCD display, as it should be.
Customer Review: A bit complex, but great
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a battery guy, but I love this charger. With a bit of reading and orientation, you can learn how to rescue batteries that other chargers consider dead. Within a week of getting this charger, it had given new life to at least 10 AA and AAA batteries, probably covering half the cost of the unit. (Yeah, I paid too much for those batteries, but still).
The fast chargers that come with battery kits from the big box stores tended to refuse my batteries after 20-30 charges, which is clearly unacceptable. This charger reconditions the supposedly shot cells, so they can be charged in the cheap charger or treated right in this one.
Unless you're completely uninterested in learning how this works, and don't have a minute to spare to set up the charges, cycles, or break-ins on your batteries, you should love this. If you have a pile of xbox controllers, cordless mice, speakers, door locks, headlamps and other gadgets like we do, this charger will likely pay for itself within a year by reducing the number of batteries you need to buy.
Customer Review: The Limousine of chargers
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this charger to replace several basic chargers that had accumulated over the years. The problem with them was that I was never sure whether the batteries were fully charged, or whether one cell in the group was faulty and limiting performance of the whole set, etc.
The Maha MH-C9000 takes away the doubt and gives me confidence that the cells are being charged properly. The display gives all the information I need to know the status of each cell (4 completely independent and programmable channels) and it lets me fully control the charging process. This is of great value to me.
The charger reports the actual capacity of each cell based on the current delivered during the discharge cycle in the programs that do discharging, so you know after the cycle is complete what the capacity of each cell is, and you can use that to match the cells for use in groups; and also to determine which cells need more cycling to return their capacity.
Great charger, I am so glad I bought this baby.
